A muslim must do their best to pray on time, and they will be sinning if they miss a prayer. It's not an 'oh well, I need to work, I'll just pray later' kind of thing- it's a serious matter.
OK, this kinda ticked me off. Allah isnt forcing us to be slaves in a military concentration prison camp alright? He understands everything, he knows everything. If your sitting at home doing work (even if it is important), you MUST pray as you can easily spare 5 minutes to do this with proper facilities.. But are you ACTUALLY suggesting that your gonna tell your boss in an INTERVIEW to give you 5 minutes to pray and come back? Really? Would you?
hmm, question time!! (God forbid) Suppose you were praying (at the FIRST part of it) and god forbid your kid who was playing on the bed (beside the spot where you are praying) suddenly suffers brains hemorrhage and starts spluttering on your bed. Are you going to FINISH your prayers and THEN go help out your son? Answer me honestly because I cant stand people who lie.
I for one would stop my prayer immediately and take my son to the hospital. Once I make sure hes safely in the operation room under doctors care, ill finish my prayers THEN and ONLY THEN (unless Allah sends me a message to do otherwise). And this wouldnt even be a sin in my opinion. You know why? I skipped the prayer because I had to save my sons life which is worth ALOT more than just a 1 rakat prayer. But miss extremist here would probably claim that she would do otherwise. Now, wouldnt you?
what is revolting is the common way in which men in the west pee. standing up -do their business, shake off zip up pants and thats it. no washing hands. then eating/shaking other peoples hands etc. now THATS revolting.
Oh really mr. hypocrite? Is that true? Do you know why I called you an hypocrite?
Well, lets put it this way, do you get offended when stereotype western people call us muslims - terrorists? If you do, that makes you a hypocrite (if you dont, that proves that you agree with them) because you just stated that "men in the west pee and dont wash their hands" which is blatantly untrue and was a stereotype comment.
Infact, sometimes almost ALL of us act like hypocrites including me. I mean, whenever we talk about the "western culture" we ALWAYS say that the western people freely have sex and wear inappropriate clothes. But apart from the middle east, are the muslim population in this world so different? People in these other "muslim countries" go around wearing quite revealing clothes and they change boyfriends / girlfriends every month or so. What do you say to that?
If we want the west to stop calling us terrorists, we MUST change first, and we can start by stop associating them with adultery ALL the time.
I for one really get upset when I see someone acting like a hypocrite or lying in order to make oneself look better than he / she is so I apologize for the aggressiveness in my post.
But really, I want ALL of you here to answer this question:
What is more important? Your sons life or a 1 rakat prayer?
